?? Why do you think that? For me it does considerably less damage than smaller calibers. Ill have to read the artical I guess, but people have been "asking for trouble" in this way for over a century. Just curious.

Not that I agree with Gregor Woods all the time, but if you get the chance there is a good article in my latest Magnum magazine about hunting with marginal calibers, even on plainsgame.

I am glad to see that he agrees with me that using anything less than a .375 H&H in Africa (okay, I'll accept the 9.3x62 too, since I bought one) is just asking for trouble.

I never heard of a game animal getting away due to the bullet hole being too big.

No mean to piss in your campfire Woods claimed in April 2002 that 270 and 7x64 was some of the best calibers for long shots at springbock, impala. He even says they work fine on gemsbuck and hartebeest
